Percy Hill "After All" Album Review

The Lost Art of Songwriting
Far and away, the best album of 2005. If you appreciate the musical genius of Steely Dan, you'll love these guys. Excellent production quality, great melodies, old-school composition and musicianship. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Must own.

Video After All the Color Bloomed the Boat was Set Straight Adrift

Just a little PH art i did. First I made the still shot. Just tried to sum up The Hill with a couple different shouts and symbols I know the PH fans will get. After staring at the still for too long, I realized still shots are boring, let's see it in motion.. with sound! YEESSSS!

Wayne Mcghie "Wayne Mcghie and the Sounds of Joy" Album Review

Everything I expected and so much more
I discovered the sounds of Wayne McGhie of a San Diego radio show. Long after the song 'Cool It' had been played it was looped on my brain. Those summery horns, soulful vocals and sublime instrumentation had weaved its way into my subconsiousness. This albums is a find, buy it now!

The Chosen Few "In Miami" Album Review

Album Description
Dragged from obscurity by the Rare Groove DJs, the "In Miami" album now commands a three figure sum on the funk collectors circuit. Produced in the US in 1975 by Jamaican King Sporty and utilising disco-funk masters KC & The Sunshine Band mostly on backing duties, it covered all bases with tracks ranging form Funk through soul to a touch of Reggae. Unavailable for almost 30 years, the original set has been augmented by a number of King Sporty tracks from the period, most of which have never previously seen issue.

The New Mastersounds "This is What We Do" Album Review

I hope they keep doing what they do!
"This Is What We Do" is nothing less than a mind-blowing trip into the land of funky jazz. It swings and rocks. The ingredients include a heavy helping of soul and funk with a sprinkling of psychedelia and lounge. As with the art work, much of the music sounds like it was recorded sometime in the sixties and seventies, drawing on likes of the Meters and Howard Roberts. The production is partly responsible for the great vintage sound. The disc blends dazzling arrangements with jaw dropping solos. The melodies are catchy and toe tapping. At times, Eddie Roberts guitar work echoes Mike Bloomfield's playing with the Butterfield Blues Band. While the guitar is hot, it is keyboardist Bob Birch who seems to be in the driver's seat. Jimi Hendrix fans will have to seriously consider the possibility that this quartet recorded a better version of 'Ain't No Telling.' With Sam Bell's assistance, 'The Tin Drum' is a polyrhythmic feast. Karl Denson affirms the importance of these young turks by playing on 'You Got It All.' As if their jammin' live shows weren't enough, this album catapults the New Mastersounds into the forefront of the scene. If "This Is What We Do" is what the New Mastersounds do, I for one hope they keep doing it!
